Thinking Outside the Box: The Museum Haus Konstruktiv Collection (1986-2016) and Guest Interventions

Research output: Practice-based/Artistic research › Artefact

Abstract

The year 2016 is an important one for Museum Haus Konstruktiv: celebrating the 30th anniversary. To mark this occasion, the constantly growing collection shall be acknowledged in the extensive group exhibition ‟Thinking Outside the Box”. In this exhibition, they deliberately avoid using external loaned items and concentrate on works from the collection. The selection was made from over 900 works, more than 100 of which have been added since the last major anniversary year, 2011. The exhibition intends to focus, in particular, on these new additions and on the historical legacy of several key figures in constructivist-concrete art. In the ‟guest interventions”, they will position the selected exhibits of the collection within the echo chamber of contemporary art. This includes various artistic strategies and media (video, performance, painting, sculpture and conceptual text/image works) that produce contextual shifts and breaking points, and which can be seen as humorous and subversive commentary.
